Just stumbled upon this review. Fun read! It just so happens that I have a pair of 1975 Cornwalls I just acquired and have ordered a pair of Dave's Fastrac cornwall replacement horns and a pair of Bob Crites' replacement tweeters. I am building a new crossover and will install new horns and mount the tweeters flush on the outside of the board for better dispersion. Essentially, it is a CornScala. I will let you know how it sounds. The stock Cornwalls are fun, but the caps are 30 years old. I hope to get a bit more extension on the top end and lose the honkiness. I will also brace the cabinet a bit while in there. Hope to have all the parts in a week or two. I have also been told by several others that if you remove the bug screen from the KV55 drivers they sound better. I will let you know how they sound! I have a pair of modified Fortes in the basement (new crossover caps, new tweeter diaphragms) and they sound wonderful, but the Cornwalls have that jump factor - the dynamics. Guess we shall see if they can be improved.
cheers,
Don
